Rand Paul Says Sanders Presidency Could Lead To Mass Genocide
Rand Paul is conflating the democratic socialism of Bernie Sanders to brutal dictatorial communist regimes.
The Republican presidential candidate linked Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist in the mold of Northern European countries, to the murderous communist regimes of Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot, saying that “most of the times when socialism has been tried” there “has been mass genocide of people or any of those who object to it.”
“It amazes me and it actually kind of scares me,” Paul said. “I’ve been spending more time going after Bernie and socialism because I don’t want America to succumb to the notion that there’s anything good about socialism. I think it’s not an accident of history that most of the times when socialism has been tried that attendant with that has been mass genocide of people or any of those who object to it. Stalin killed tens of millions of people. Mao killed tens of millions of people. Pol Pot killed tens of millions of people. When you have a command economy, when everything is dictated from one authority, that’s socialism, but it doesn’t come easily to those who resist it.”
Whatever one might think of Sanders’ political ideology, there is a vast gulf between the kind of socialist policies he is discussing and the total economic and social control imposed by communist dictatorships.

No, we’ll just irradiate them, so they can’t breed. Like they do with fruit flies, then eventually they’ll die out.

The reason Rand says that was explained last evening on “Real Time with Bill Maher”: When Republicans listen to Bernie, they hear it all differently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LATqcoGOsxE

Whatever smattering of respect I still had left for Rand Paul is now gone.
What a despicable human being!

How could you have had ANY respect for such a creature? He even belittles the disabled!

Sander represents the exact opposite of Rand Paul’s twisted Ayn Rand philosophy. Of course the little spoiled brat is terrified of a Sanders era where it’s the ordinary non-rich who have a fighting chance in America again instead of only the filthy-rich who rule over the peasants like Medieval tyrants.

Nazis did not call themselves “Nazis” nor “Fascists.” Neither does Bernie Sanders. People cover up what the Nazis actually called themselves: SOCIALISTS.
The platform outlined in Hitler’s socialist manifesto “Mein Kampf” is similar to the platform of Bernie Sanders. The word “Nazi” never appears in Mein Kampf, but the word “socialist” and “socialism” appears throughout in a glowing manner of praise and self-identification.A – Nazis did not call themselves “Nazis” nor “Fascists.” Neither do Bernie Sanders or the Tampa Bay Times. In its normal daily operations, the Tampa Bay Times and Politifact cover up what the Nazis actually called themselves: SOCIALISTS.
German socialists were similar to the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics and Chinese socialists in that they killed millions. German socialists and Soviet socialists were allies in killing people in a pact to divide up Europe. https://www.facebook.com/daniel.pose.3/photos/764073790379459
